For You
Down in your bed as I watch you, holding your hands
so cold and wet
I was quivering too, feeling your hands
you fold and let
You keep your eyes closed as I touch you
not seeing what my eyes tells you
You grab your chest, but your heart away from you
not sensing what my heart speaks to you
I was damping your forehead so gentle
as your tears start to roll down
I was asking why let weeping to settle
then you opened your eyes and sat down
You asked me why I stayed awake all the while
I said, "Everything I do is all for you"
You wanted me to stop caring for a while
I said, "No, I will always stay here for you."
